| chloride peroxidase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the chlorination of a range of organic molecules, forming stable carbon-chloride bonds. Chemical name: Chloride:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.11.1.10 (12 Dec 1998) |
| chloride shift | When CO2 enters the blood from the tissues, it passes into the red blood cell and is converted by carbonate dehydratase to bicarbonate (HCO3-); HCO3- ion passes out into the plasma while Cl- migrates into the red blood cell. Reverse changes occur in the lungs when CO2 is eliminated from the blood. Synonym: Hamburger's phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
